Some other important fixes for KDE:

* Q(C)String search & replace methods are a lot faster. 
  A lot of methods are added for string<->string/char<->char replacement, so
  QRegExp can be avoided in lots of places speeding up to code quite a bit.

* Printing of masked images works

* Much improved support for japanese input methods (it should actually be
  complete now).

* Threading improvements: 
    - All methods and classes in tools/ (with a few exceptions) are reentrant.
    - QApp::postEvent &co + QObject construction are threadsafe

* QSyntaxHighlighter to make a syntax highlighter on QTextEdit.
